Able to recover $2 million annually with our implementation plan of BPM
One of the largest manufacturers in the United States frequently lost opportunites in recovering costs associated with design and manufacturing car parts when a car maker decides that the part is no longer needed. They had been using a series of cumbersome spreadsheets where information got lost frequently, particularly during personnel turnover – taking up to two years to process any requests.
(+) Business Need
They needed a solution to replace the current spreadsheet-based mechanism to plan and track the activities in identifying the inventory. However, they were not in a position to quickly determine whether a BPM solution would deliver the necessary benefits and had the capabilities.
